about making sure you post to every network you dabble in. The timeliness of

hard sell. In fact, here’s a quick rule for you to follow if you’re unsure on
whether to post it or not. Can you

At you company, simply think mobile first! By doing this, you won't only get an invite; mobile will be your best friend! So come along - there's room for all.

Not only is our mobile experience getting better and more engaging; our lives are getting better and more engaging.

Mobile makes us international
Being a global citizen doesn't only mean our business' gets more exposure, but our personal lives do to! Last night I skyped a family member in Europe who was celebrating her birthday just before I headed out to dinner. Returning back home I jumped on Facebook and saw a few pics from the birthday lunch with all the family. I have never been so close to family overseas, especially considering , we only see each other every few years.

Whatever happened to technology enabling us to better live our lives, by keeping us better informed, connected and empowered? Instead, I feel we are heading down this path of acceptable addiction, where I download an app to help manage my apps. Where I use a SaaS (software as a service) that helps me use another piece of software as well as offer a service. Where I jump on Facebook to 'connect with loved ones' and find myself sucked into a number of rabbit warrens littered with cat videos, conspiracy theorists, memes, birds with arms and generally content design to keep me clicking, watching, consuming all while my details are pawned off to the next advertiser.

In my opinion, educating people about your brand and value
proposition at every stage of the marketing experience/funnel, is just as important as
conversion, in fact more so. Many B2B and even B2C marketers however,
struggle to see past the 'what does this mean for sales' angle, which is of course the easier measurable
to side with. The Funnel In essence 'the funnel' is about: marketing, automation, lead
management, demand generation and lastly sales.
